Being diagnosed with HIV/AIDS may trigger drug abuse, or dangerous sexual behavior due to drug use could possibly have caused the person to contract the disease. People who have HIV/AIDS, either because of their drug use or as a pre-existing problem before their substance abuse problem, frequently require rehabilitation services tailored to meet their specific demands and problems. Many of these problems are physical in nature, due to the fact that substance abusers with HIV/AIDS hardly ever care for themselves and take the proper medications they need to maintain their own health. As a result, they arrive to rehab in very poor physical shape and this will have to be handled as a priority while also dealing with other crucial issues. Apart from the obvious requirement to supply medical services while in rehab, people who have HIV/AIDS will also need to deal with deeper problems which prompted their drug or alcohol use. Often, individuals have conditions within their lives that are purely environmental which may have caused them to use drugs or alcohol, such as oppressive conditions in their lives or detrimental relationships. These are the concerns which rehabilitation counselors will give attention to in HIV/AIDS treatment services.
